Stripe Settings
Overview
Effortless online payments are essential for modern e-commerce and digital businesses, especially when managing memberships and subscriptions. The Stripe Settings feature provides a powerful, secure, and customizable payment processing solution. With these settings, you can tailor your Stripe integration to fit your specific business requirements, including managing recurring memberships and subscriptions and ensuring smooth and reliable transactions.
Stripe Settings
To configure your Stripe settings, navigate to: wp-admin > Ultimate Member > Settings > Extension > Stripe. Here you’ll find the following options:
Sandbox/Test Mode
Toggle this setting to switch between test mode and live mode.
When Sandbox/Text Mode is enabled or checked, the Test Publishable Key and Test Secret Key fields will be displayed.
Test Publishable Key
Enter your Stripe test publishable key here. This key is used when operating in test mode.
Test Secret Key
Enter your Stripe test secret key here. It is recommended to use this key for local or staging sites during testing.
When Sandbox/Text Mode is disabled, the Live Publishable Key and Live Restricted or Secret Key fields will appear.
Live Publishable Key
Enter your Stripe live publishable key here. This key is used for live transactions.
Live Restricted or Secret Key
Enter your Stripe live restricted key or secret key here. For live sites, using a restricted key is recommended for enhanced security.
Buttons
- Connect with Stripe - When you enter the keys in their designated fields, this button becomes available. When clicked, it triggers the Stripe extension to create a new webhook endpoint for your Stripe account settings.
If connected successfully, it will display these buttons:
- Disconnect Stripe Account - Click this button to disconnect your site from your Stripe account.
- Import Prices from Your Stripe Account - Clicking this button imports pricing data from your Stripe account. Imported prices will appear in a scroll box and create Ultimate Member Stripe Plans, each with unique settings for role assignment based on subscription status.

Webhook Endpoints
When you click the "Connect with Stripe" button, the webhook endpoint will be automatically integrated into your Stripe account. If this process is unsuccessful, you can manually copy the webhook endpoint from this setting and paste it into your stripe account.
Replace Existing Roles When Subscription Status Changes
By default, when a user's subscription status changes in the Stripe module, their existing role is merged with their new role. However, you have the option to modify this behavior and replace the user's existing role with their new role instead. If you enable or check this setting, it will replace all existing roles. If you're logged in as an administrator, your role will remain unaffected.
Test Clock
This setting must be enabled if you’re testing your integration using Stripe’s test clocks. It will create a Stripe customer specifically for your test clock. Note that the Test Clock setting only appears when Sandbox/Test Mode is enabled. When this setting is checked or enabled, a field will appear where you can enter the Test Clock ID.
Disable Activity Logs
If this setting is checked or enabled, the activity logs will be disabled. The activity logs feature provides a comprehensive log of all user activities associated with their subscription and onboarding process for User Registrations. It records all the details related to Stripe fields or direct Subscribe URLs. The activity log allows users to keep track of all their activities, including subscriptions, payments, and other related operations.
Stripe Embedded Checkout
By default, when a user makes a purchase or checks out from your website, they will be redirected to a secure, Stripe-hosted checkout page. This checkout page is designed to help users complete their transactions quickly and easily. However, if you prefer to embed the checkout form directly on your website, you can enable this setting. This will allow users to complete their purchase without having to leave your site.
Stripe Cancellation Page
This setting allows administrators to manage how recurring user subscriptions are handled upon cancellation. By default, users cancel subscriptions via the Stripe-hosted customer portal. To allow cancellations directly on your website, you need to manually enable this setting. This setting provides a seamless and transparent cancellation process directly on your site, giving users more control and flexibility in managing their subscriptions.
